If you call yourself a bitcoiner, you need to read this to understand how fiat actually manifests in the economy.

Make no mistake: if you lie about this and pretend that *non-direct government spending* from pension funds, including VC, are private market capitalism, you are an enemy of liberty, you are an enemy of America, and you are an enemy of life itself, regardless of whether you cosplay as a Republican.

Lololol, I am working on mining, by working on missiles.

Real technology at the foundational layers is multipurpose. It is not unethical to sell a weapon. It is not my job to police customers any more than it is Samurai's job to enfore financial laws. Understand?

The anti-war hippy bitcoiners would send us back to the stone age in hatred of metal buildings because the same metallurgy enables mechanized war. Alas, only in war is their low time preference. In mining there is no technology investment. 99.99% have no interest. I might have recently met the one exception, but it certainly would be an anomaly. Everyone just wants the tech from 3 decades ago so they can start today.

Zero patience. See, the miners are on the fiat standard. Every bitcoiner's brain is still wired to think through fiat. Probably.ine too, but I try to at least have some awareness.

Sometimes I will read Beautyon's tweets even though he has me blocked, and I will think that I should be working on the critical product for adoption that everyone else is neglecting... but then I remember there is nary a serious bitcoiner to be found in most parts.

But the military is serious, and through building weapons, I can carry the torch of the dying culture of engineering and technology advancement, a culture bitcoin will restore to its full grandeur, but totally foreign to the fiat-world bitcoiner of the present era. Pity.

I just bought one of these micro PCs. With the external GPU, it absolutely obliterates performance of my tower PC that's a few years old. 2 tb SSD means it can work great as a node. Pricey for specs, but it can replace a laptop too while traveling and I always have external mouse and keyboard already. This should be next unit of compute imo. Unlike Mac Mini, can run direct off battery pack.

Bitcoin is actually also not a digital asset

A proprietary AI model, a set of CAD files for an aircraft, or a digital scientific lab notebook are examples of "digital assets"

The nonsense that bitcoin is an "asset" or "money" is merely an attempt to regulate it

Store of value is a means, not the end

The key is securing freedom of association

Wow, so now my payments could also be as shadowbanned as my tweets!

Hot take: Iran will become the world's first real bitcoin country following its liberation

I haven't looked to closely, but they look like real users to me

Haven't looked at this chart in a while... looks like NOSTR went from 10k to 20k in about two years. i.e. dysmal failure to catch on

I wonder when people will figure out that NOSTR grows by disrupting centralized two-sided-marketplace apps first? Met a Brazilian guy working on "Doordash over NOSTR"

Where do my new followers come from if I am not actively posting? I get a few weekly.

Is this indicative of more pro-social discovery mechanisms than on X?

It's going to be beautiful to watch many of the fake fiat jobs get vaporized.

Working class will be fine as the trades and labor will all still be needed. No one will go hungry, but as competition for low end jobs increases, the only viable solution will be eliminating the criminal minimum wage laws.

Under fiat

Naïve, script-like "capitalism"

Metastasizes into pursuit and defense of communism

It is now abundantly clear the bitcoiner does not inherently escape this

The tension between relative, profitable lies, and the yearning for absolute truth, which few seem to have

What do you do when you don't have to work, but you also cannot work on meaningful things under the current communist regime? Forced retirement kind of sucks.

😭

Few in bitcoin have a concept of how the fixing everything has vastly more compounding value on sum total of global productivity: 1) people are wealthier now than under gold 150 years ago; 2) being 5-10x richer matters more to any individual than having their savings be bitcoin on a bitcoin standard.

Consider me a higher order effects maximalist, a fixing everything maximalist.

I can solve every problem in the world. Checkmate statists

Bitcoin is a caliper

How's the LARPing going? Having fun with your fiat games?

Bitcoin is not about getting rich

It is about retards (eventually) getting poor

Nope. I explained on X.

People look up concepts they know are too far out to feel better about their inaction. It is a fiat disease.

Would you like to know about some "sci-fi" technologies that are within reach in the space-time we presently inhabit?

Bitcoin is deterrence

What you can do with it is largely emergent from the constraints indirectly imposed on others

Hodling is deterrence

New bitcoin mining technique just dropped

I still am retarded

But I used to be too

What are the most interesting things bitcoiners have built or funded that are not bitcoin specific projects?

e.g. David Bailey helping save America or Stacey Herbert helping transform El Salvador

I am particularly interested in globally relevant things to the extent they exist rather than the hippy farmers market fake circular economies.

Great example of how trash the bitcoin influencers of the post-Saylor era are.

People who are great at entertaining, but have a shallow understanding.

An iPhone is obviously a terrible comparison, but the sort that a lay person with a fiat rather than software or engineering background would make.

But you probably like the entertainment more than you crave the truth, too.

I went ahead and reserved a spot

Lamb. Chicken is seed oils

It's gonna get really neat when the free communication leads to fundamental shifts in association, organization, and economic activity. This is just the teaser.

Did I ever suggest you are not free to not shop in places that do not accept fiat? Anyway, let's be honest -- it's a moot point, because you are willing to use fiat left and right!

Then why not start with something that is not (primarily) LARPing?

LARPing gives people a false sense of accomplishment, thereby diminishing the impulse toward real action.
